Informatization On The Impact Of Human Knowledge

Informatization is closely related to epistemology whose latest object of research is just the information itself. Therefore, the scientific explanation of the essence of information is regarded as an important theme of epistemology at the age of information. With the development and application of information technology, all the practices of human society have manifested new features of informatization. Accordingly, the methods of cognition tend to be informatized:The subject of cognition has accelerated from the single subject of human to the complex one of "human-machine-net"; and as for the object of cognition, the virtual object processed by computer and Internet is an addition to the mere practical one. Moreover, the elements of information have been supplemented to the intermediary of cognition. These changes in the methods of cognition are contemporary connotations the information age bestows on human's activity of cognition. Thus a profusion of materials is supplied to the development of epistemology of Marxism.The development of informatization not only provides the rich materials for the expansion of the outlook on matter, epistemology and the theory of the productive force, but also puts forward the new research on the examination of the effect of the information development from the perspective of the Marxist philosophy. It has an instructive meaning for realizing the sustainable development of informatization.
